Mother's Day Partying 101

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, you may be thinking about that Mother’s Day party. And if you are looking for a creative and fun way to celebrate that special lady, then look no further than today’s blog. Below you will find a few suggestions that should entertain the entire family and recognize your mother for all the wonderful things she does every day. Of course, as with all my tips, it really does depend upon your situation. So feel free to change these tips to suit your needs.

• It seems that breakfast in bed has become an integral part of celebrating Mother’s Day. But if you are looking to put an interesting twist on the classic breakfast a la bedroom, then why not move the bed? While your mother is sleeping, gang up with your siblings and drag her mattress outside. Not only will your mother awaken to the wonderful smells of bacon, eggs, and coffee, but she’ll also be surrounded by nature and covered in morning dew (and possibly other things depending upon the neighborhood birds, dogs, and sprinklers…)
  
  
• What mother doesn’t like a day of beauty? Of course, if that all-inclusive trip to the day spa is a bit out of your price range, then simply make a spa in your kitchen. Used tea bags placed over the eyes are great for reducing puffiness. Avocado smeared across the skin is a wonderful moisturizer and a rich source of Vitamin E, and coarse salt or sugar mixed with a little extra-virgin olive oil can be used as a simple and affordable exfoliate. Plus, a home-spa experience like this is a great bit of family time. And if your mother gets at all hungry during her spa day, she can simply lick the avocado off her face for an impromptu guacamole.
  
  
• And don’t forget to help mom out around the house. Mother’s Day is a great opportunity to help mom with the cleaning, cooking, laundry, and everything else she does for the family. Just be certain to ask her for directions before proceeding. Let’s be honest, confusing the bleach bottle for the carpet shampoo would probably not end up being the great Mother’s Day gift that you had planned…

Well, those are my ideas for Mother’s Day entertaining. If you’re a mother, allow me to say “Happy Mother’s Day.” And if you’re not a mother, allow me to remind you that Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday, so be certain to do something special for that special lady.
